I am completely impressed. Having your right to choose, as a woman and as a mother, on whether or not to have your baby, the decision you chose and stuck with was to carry your baby to term and then put it for adoption. This decision was mature and very well thought out for someone your age. You showed a great interest in the future of your child and yourself, despite the horrible situation you were put in. I admire you for being able to come at this life changing decision with the full force of your caring heart and determination, to give your baby the chance at life. The responsibility you took part in for a baby in which you did not want was, in agreement, the best decision a teenager could make when not prepared for what would come after conceiving.
The fact that you put in so much effort to find the “perfect” family positively threw me off. To me, this shows that you took your time to consider the future of what could be your child’s whole life. And instead did not think that abortion could solve your problem quicker.
Whether it be because of financial issues or a lack of family support during a teen pregnancy, I believe abortion is not the answer when trying to get rid of a baby. I agree with the Roe v. Wade decision in which prohibits abortion, except to save a woman’s life. Knowing and thinking instead, that the healthy baby you carry could have a wonderful life in the arms of a loving family, is without a doubt and in my opinion, the best way to look at this situation. Choosing to carry your baby to term is the way to fight for your child’s future if a child is not what you’re ready for. On the other hand, if the baby causes a life threatening issue to a woman’s body, I believe it should be exceptional to safely abort to keep the mother alive. This would fall under a woman’s right to privacy, or 14th Amendment, when taking the action to go through with abortion.
I fully respect your decision one hundred percent as you were not prepared for the physical care of having a baby. If I was put in your exact situation and I happened to feel the same way, I would’ve done what you did. Although, as I do have experience with taking care of babies and toddlers, if it were me, I would feel at least a bit prepared and in that case would’ve kept the baby. I say this only because I personally wouldn’t want another family to raise my child when I can actually do it myself, with help of course. Regardless of the downs that conceiving a baby at a young age will bring, I would give it my first priority to raise my baby healthily. My education can wait, my family would support, and whether the father of the baby remains around that wouldn’t matter to me. It’d be more than a struggle, but to me it’d be a struggle worth fighting for.
